Gohmert on lunatics: People who contue to do business as usual in DC!:)


The word “lunatic” will be stricken from federal law under legislation that passed the House by a vote of 398-1 on Wednesday.

The congressional action is the most recent effort to eliminate language from the U.S. code that has become outdated or demeaning. Two years ago, Congress removed references in federal law to the term “mental retardation.”

The only “no” vote was cast by Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, who said in a statement that, “not only should we not eliminate the word “lunatic” from federal law when the most pressing issue of the day is saving our country from bankruptcy, we should use the word to describe the people who want to continue with business as usual in Washington.

  1. Rep. Gohmert might very well be the only non-lunatic left in the dc cesspool. I wonder what the 36 who didn't vote used for their excuse.....
    How long has it been since they passed a budget?
